Cone crushers are used to produce fine aggregates, since they can receive and crush smaller size of stones of ore.

The stones are fed through feed chute, evenly into the crushing chamber where they are crushed quickly and uniformly.

The stones from the feed chute first fall on a distributor plate which helps in distributing the feeding material in the cone crusher.

The crushing surface in the clearance between the concave and mantle is made of wear resistant high grade manganese steel for heavy duty operation and reduced wear.

The crusher head has a gyratory, swinging motion so that the crushing is done by direct pressure. This results in a cubic product.
